A. 1.8600 x 105 mi/s

Explanation:

The problem gives us the value of the speed of light in ft/s: v=982,080,000 ft/s

We know the conversion factor between feet and miles:

1 mi = 5280 ft

So we can apply this conversion factor to the speed of light:

v=982,080,000 ft/s \cdot \frac{1}{5280 ft/mi}=186,000 mi/s=1.86\cdot 10^5 mi/s

A ball is fixed to the end of a string which is attached to the ceiling at point P. As the drawing shows, the ball is projected
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

a. The balls initial kinetic energy.

Explanation:

As we know that initially speed is given to the ball downwards so that it moved in a circle so then finally reached to point B

Now given that point B is higher than the initial position A from which it is projected

Now by energy conservation we know that

K_i + U_i = K_f + U_f

since final speed is zero so we have

K_i + mgh_a = 0 + mgh_b

h_b = h_a + \frac{K_i}{mg}

so from above equation we can say that since initial kinetic energy is given to the ball so it will be able to reach the point which is higher than its initial position

so correct answer is

a. The balls initial kinetic energy.

Consider two identical and symmetrical wave pulses on a string. Suppose the first pulse reaches the fixed end of the string and
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The amplitude of the resultant wave will be 0.

Explanation:

Suppose the first wave has an amplitude of A. Its angle is given as wt.

The second way will also have the same amplitude as that of first.

After the reflection, a phase shift of π is added So the wave is given as

W_1=W_2=Acos(\omega t)\\W_1^{'}=Acos(\omega t+ \pi)

Adding the two waves give

                               W_1'+W_2=Acos(\omega t+ \pi)+Acos(\omega t)\\W_1'+W_2=-Acos(\omega t)+Acos(\omega t)\\W_1'+W_2=0

So the amplitude of the resultant wave will be 0.

The length of an aluminum wire is quadrupled and the radius is doubled. By which factor does the resistance change?
erik [133]
The resistance of a conductive wire is given by:
R= \frac{\rho L}{A}
where
\rho is the material resistivity
L is the wire length
A is the cross-sectional area of the wire

The length of the wire is quadrupled, so if we call L the original length and L' the new length, we can write 
L'=4 L

Similarly, the radius of the wire is doubled (r'=2r), so the new area is
A'= \pi (r')^2 = \pi (2r)^2 = 4 \pi r^2 = 4A

And if we substitute into the equation, we find that the new resistance of the wire is
R'= \frac{\rho L'}{A'}= \frac{\rho (4L)}{4 A'}  =  \frac{\rho L}{A}=R
Therefore, R=R': this means that the resistance of the wire did not change.

On a farm, you are pushing on a stubborn pig with a constant horizontal force with magnitude 30.0 n and direction 37.0° counterc
sashaice [31]

<span>Since the force is applied at an angle from the horizontal, we will use the horizontal component of this force in calculating for the displacements.
From derivation, the Fx is:</span>

Fx = F cos φ

Where:

Fx = is the horizontal component of the force

F = total force

φ = angle in radian = 37 * pi / 180 = 0.645 rad

Calculating: Fx = 30.0 N * cos(0.645)

Fx = 23.97 N = 24 N

Calculating for Work: W = Fx * d

A. W = 24 N * 15 m = 360 N

B. W = 24 N * 16 m = 384 N

C. W = 24 N * 12 m = 288 N

D. W = 24 N * 14 m = 336 N

What is an unstable nucleus emits
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Unstable nucleus tends to emit small particles of matter(alpha or beta particles) with an attendant emission of electromagnetic radiation and some amount of energy.

For every atomic nucleus, there is a specific neutron/proton ratio which ensures stability of the nucleus.

Any nucleus with a neutron/proton combination different from its stability ratio (i.e either too many neutrons or too many protons) will be unstable and split.

The will emit some small particles and radiations until they become stable.
